In this case check your hard disk for errors: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors Let's hope it's just some file system error, and not the result of the hard drive starting to get bad sectors. Anyways, backing up important files to a separate device is always a good idea. Upvote 0 Downvote
